According to the rules of the Golden Lantern Sect, all people must be cremated after death, and the ashes are scattered among the mountains and fields. Liang Xingyang shook his head gently: "I have not collected the ashes, and I cannot collect them. I came here this time to ask my uncle for something." help."
"You don't have to beg, you are still a member of our old Liang family." Liang Weigang raised his hand and pressed it softly, "When your mother took you to Xiao Qingshan, I asked your eldest brother to pick you over. Later I heard that she remarried, I sent someone to pick you up again because you were filial and didn't want to leave. Now that she's gone, you should come back to our old Liang family. No matter what happens, my uncle will never miss a bite of food from you."
"No, that's not the case." Liang Xingyang pointed to the vegetable root in Shi Xiao's arms, "This is my half-brother. I'm going to keep him here for a few days. Well, I'll pick him up after the beginning of spring. Walk."
"Is this the child of the man your mother married later?" After receiving a positive answer, Liang Weigang looked at Cai Gen with disgust, "Tianbao, you have to know that you are from the old Liang family. It is natural for you to eat and clothe you, but this child has nothing to do with our old Liang family, I..."
"Uncle!" Liang Xingyang said, "He is only staying here for a few days. I will come back to pick him up after the beginning of spring. After all, he... was born to the same mother as me, and I have taken care of him since he was a child. I can't ignore him. "
"You said you would pick him up after the beginning of spring? Where could you take him? Take him to the street to beg for food? Besides, where is his father? His father is also dead? Why don't you care?" Liang Weigang was very worried. dissatisfied.
Liang Xingyang was silent for a moment: "Uncle, I have something that I can't tell you clearly. In fact, I ran away from Xiaoqingshan last summer and went all the way north to the Huangting River. I just came back today, and I didn't know that my mother was gone. ”
"You...are that beast Lao Mang abusing you? Then you still care about his son!" Liang Weigang sounded sad and angry at his misfortune. He slammed the table hard, and then his tone softened again, "You are a Little kid, why are you running north? Why don't you come to see your uncle?"
"I picked up a secret book of cultivating immortals and made it into a flying sword." Liang Xingyang decided to tell it, "To be honest with my uncle, I have killed dozens of Golden Lantern masters, and this time I came back to seek revenge from the Golden Lantern Sect. Yes. I was worried that they were outnumbered. If I couldn't fight them, I might hurt you, so I changed my clothes and took a carriage back to Xiaoqingshan. I planned to pick up my mother first, but I didn't expect that she was no longer there. .”
Liang Weigang stood up from his seat and walked up to Liang Xingyang to look at him: "You said you practiced immortal magic and became a flying sword?"
"yes."
"Show me here!"
Liang Xingyang scratched at the lantern, and the flame flew out of the lantern, reached his hand, and continued to burn above his fingertips.
Liang Weigang saw this scene and nodded: "Now, almost everyone in Liangzhou City believes in the Golden Lantern Sect. Only those of us with the five major surnames still refuse to believe it. Those demon masters have made many demonic beasts in our area." Can you get rid of them who are doing evil in the fields, destroying the crops, and not allowing us to cultivate them?”
In Liangzhou City, except for the five major families, almost everyone has converted to the Golden Lantern Sect.
First, the poor were converted. The poor originally had nothing, so they were not too reluctant to part with "all their family property".
Then the Golden Lantern Sect organized these poor people, disrupted the market, smashed shops, looted and burned workshops, blocked official roads, and made people panic.
The prefect had already converted his entire family into a religious believer. If anyone came to sue, he would put the plaintiff in jail, indulge the defendant who smashed the case, and robbed the plaintiff's property. This further allowed these believers to go on a rampage day and night, setting fires in the streets, and showing lawlessness.
After the commotion had been going on for a while, the Golden Lantern Sect asked these people to attack those who had family business. They would stand alone outside their homes, making noise day and night, throwing stones and excrement into the courtyard. , and beat him when he was alone.
The five families had money and connections. On the one hand, they sent people to Liyuan Governor's Mansion to file a complaint, and on the other hand, they paid high prices to hire martial artists as bodyguards.
Among them, the Bai family hired a monk, Master Yan from Baishi Cave in Xinluo Mountain to the east. He refined eight magic arrows and could shoot and retract them within a hundred steps. He could kill people with one arrow. Not long ago, he shot and killed seventeen fanatical black-clad cultists who tried to climb over the wall at night to rob. Even the golden lantern warriors couldn't beat him.
Since last month, monsters have appeared in the sky and earth outside the city. There are frogs as big as a room, black bears more than three feet tall, and giant pythons as thick as a washbasin. They are all swallowing clouds and mist. Making trouble in their fields.
Because it was the winter plowing season, the five families each gathered a team of two to three hundred people to go out of the city to exterminate the monsters. They also wanted to scare those black-clad madmen. However, each monster became more ferocious than the other, and the masters invited by the five families all suffered heavy losses. , the Divine Arrow Immortal Yan Mengsheng and Taoist Yan let go out to shoot pigs and bears with their flying swords. The tip of the arrow could not break through the defense at all, and was almost beaten to pulp by the bear's paw, and came back in embarrassment.
"Where are those monsters? I'll go take a look."
Liang Weigang called the housekeeper and drew a rough map of the mountains and rivers. Liang Xingyang took the map and identified the direction: "I'll give it a try, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
He took Shi Yao with him out of the city, and first arrived at Xiangxi Land, ten miles northeast of the city.
After searching for a while, I found a big black bear sleeping under a tree. It was really three to four feet tall. It was like a mountain of meat. Not even a room could fit in. The black hair all over its body stood upright. The bear's paws were bigger than his. The tree trunks are thick!
The bear was snoring and sleeping soundly under the tree. Shi Xiao was eager to try: "Master, I'll go meet him!"
"No need!" Liang Xing raised his hand and pointed downwards with his sword hand, and there was a bright flash between the sky and the earth.
The white sword light flashed away, and the huge head of the black bear was separated from the corpse. The blood in the cavity spurted out and flowed down the slope into the stream.
Shi Yan seemed to have seen something delicious, and his mouth was watering: "Master, this bear demon has practiced Taoism for at least a hundred years, and has been nourished and refined with medicine and secret methods. His energy and blood are extremely rich. He is the best sacrifice, so just reward me. !”
Liang Xingyang nodded: "I'll kill the other monsters first. You can follow me after eating."
This time he no longer controlled the wind, but directly used the sword. A bolt of lightning flashed southward and disappeared in an instant.
Shi Yan pounced on the bear demon's body, opened his mouth, and it was bigger than a wheel. He aimed at the bear demon's cavity and sucked hard, sucking out all the blood first, then stretched out his sharp claws, dug into the cavity, and dug Put the liver and heart into your mouth, chew it squeakingly...
Liang Xingyang followed what was marked on the map and found the python sleeping in a tree on the east side of the city. The tree was more than ten feet tall, with thick branches and wheels. The body of the python was all over the ground from top to bottom, from east to west. Falling into the tree canopy.
